I've completed all the requirements, and I've decided to go back to my private room.

Welcome home, Charles.

Deep down, Ashley welcomed me.

Someone will wait for me and say "Welcome home".

It hasn't happened in the last few years.

"Have you finished?

Ah.

Well then, dinner will be served.

"Please. In the meantime, I sweat."

Unlike normal humans, the brave man's body is not dull, but sensory things are not.

In order to keep myself in the best condition, I went to practice with a wooden sword in one hand, dressed in an easy-to-move garment.

Find a less popular place on the property and wave your sword silently.

I focused on the shape of Brave Arts.

I will finish my lesson for about an hour and return to my room.

I ran into a nostalgic face along the way.

Are you coming home from school? As always, you will produce sperm, Charles. "

That's what he called me, one of the few ministers who couldn't help but look at the top of the power struggle and advocated for Brother Claude.

His presence among ministers can be described as heresy.

Unusual among ministers, a tough and well-armed militant, his waist is extremely calm and even intellectually impressed.

On the other hand, I never bend, I have a stubborn side, I am one of the few people who personally believe that I am trustworthy.

"It's been a long time. Once a day, I have to hold a sword to be restless."

"I know exactly how you feel. I have to move my body once a day, and I'm not feeling well."

Minister, I think I think of a middle-aged man who is half taller and in good shape than I am.

An active knight, it has a common appearance.

Looks like you can count on me as a fighter.

"Well done. I used to be a small guy, but I saw him grow a lot."

He was right, I was small until I reached the age of majority, but since then I have grown considerably taller and slightly taller than average.

That kind of public story goes on, and he waves the subject he would really want to talk to me about.

"I'm really sorry about Claude. That's not true for those who are so smart."

Yeah, I think so, too.

It was your brother who most forcefully inherited the blood of King Sage and the prestigious current King Lerouche.

That is beyond doubt.

"Claude became king and you supported it. It was the most ideal future I had ever painted for this country, but it was no longer possible."

"I wanted to ask you something before."

"Yes"

"May I ask why you were recommended to Brother Claude?

"Yes, I will answer."

I got so much approval that I couldn't applaud.

It doesn't seem like anything else to him to hide.

"Of course, because he was smart, that's a big reason."

"Yeah."

"The most important reason is that you were weak, and the feelings of the weak were well understood."

I understand the meaning of the word very well.

My brother did not train as a brave man, and he was running for the socially weak, such as orphans.

"Each of the contenders of the throne inheritance certainly had an excellent part, but they were unmistakably strong. That's why we're going to create a country that only focuses on the strong. I was concerned about that."

San Bolt, the only three men, was not as arrogant as the other two, but he was not an admirable man for home affairs.

Even if I could be king, there would have been no problem in strengthening the country, but I don't think it would have raised the standard of living of the socially weak.

I don't despise you.

I can't think of anything like that.

In a way, he was very brave, so I don't think any people in trouble would have helped.

However, it is not difficult to imagine that it would not have been a fundamental solution because it was a temporary thing such as helping money at that time.

"Now that I'm a brave man, let me ask you something."

I decided to ask him another thing I had been worried about for years.

"From your point of view, did I have the gift of sword?

"No, honestly, I didn't think it was that good. It would have been faster to count from below among the princes."

It answers honestly without saying anything nice such as compliments.

That's all because he likes me.

You wouldn't respond like this to someone who can't talk with a hunger break.

Anyway, I thought this part of him was trustworthy.

"But I thought it would be something. I couldn't compare you to the other princes."

Did you think there were fewer words? I'll add that.

"That's new to me."

"I believe that what I can do is part of my talent. In that sense, I thought you were the most talented."

I understand what he is saying.

"Not talented."

The only person who can say that word is someone who has really worked to the limit.

Anything that is missing can be filled with effort.

In a sense, I could say that I embodied it.

"I want Charles to be the father of the brave men of the future to develop this country."

"Yeah."

"If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know. I will do my best."

At the moment, few people think that it will be profitable for me.

I have not been named successor to the king.

It would be a much wiser choice for the powerful princes of my generation.

And yet, there is no other way he can say such a warm word because he likes me personally.

"Thank you very much. If you have a chance, please don't hesitate to help me."

Instead of a social resignation, I respond with my heart's content.

Not many ministers seem to be neglecting my presence, but it's nice to have someone to trust, even one.

I warmed up my old friend and broke up with him, feeling a little bit of remorse.

Well, Ashley's making me a warm meal.

Shall I go home before the corner food gets cold?

I hurried home, though not too far.
